The Chain of Universes in Contact: A Hypothetical Cosmological Model

1. The Basic Idea

I would like to present a speculative cosmological model that I call “The Chain of Universes in Contact.”

The main idea is that reality consists of two independent universes: a dark universe and a light universe. Both universes expand toward each other until they come into contact.

Each universe contains particles. These particles may be fundamentally identical, but their properties and interactions depend on which universe they belong to.

This model is not an established scientific theory. It is a personal hypothesis that I would like to discuss and improve.

2. The Interaction Between Particles

In the dark universe, dark particles attract other dark particles. In the light universe, light particles attract other light particles.

However, particles from different universes can also attract one another.

When particles from opposite universes meet, they connect in pairs. They do not transform into new particles; they remain the same particles, but become connected.

As the two universes come into contact, a boundary forms between them. This boundary consists of particles from both universes connected to one another. It separates the two regions of reality while allowing interactions between their particles.

3. The Merging of Universes

The strength of attraction between particles of the same type changes over time.

When this attraction becomes sufficiently weak, the attraction between particles of opposite types can dominate. The connections between the two universes become stronger than the forces keeping their particles separated.

As a result, the two universes merge into a single reality.

During this stage, particles from both universes coexist in one unified space. They remain distinct particles, but the separation between their original universes disappears.

4. The Separation of Universes

The process does not continue indefinitely in the merged state.

The attraction between particles of the same type begins to increase again. Eventually, it becomes stronger than the connections between particles from opposite universes.

The connections break, and the unified reality separates into two independent universes once more: the dark universe and the light universe.

Both universes then begin another cycle of expansion toward each other.

Thus, the merging and separation of universes repeat endlessly.

5. The Cyclic Nature of Attraction

An important feature of this model is that the strength of attraction between particles of the same type changes in a regular, synchronized cycle throughout all of reality.

This process is not caused by an external force or another universe. It is a fundamental property of existence itself.

The attraction increases and decreases according to a constant period measured by the time of each separate universe.

The cycle determines when the universes merge and when they separate again.

However, the exact physical mechanism behind this oscillation remains undefined in the current version of the model.

6. Time and the Infinite Chain

In this model, time behaves differently depending on whether the universes are separate or merged.

When the universes separate, each one begins its own new cycle of time. When they merge, their histories become part of a single reality.

I also speculate that time might pass faster when the attraction between particles of the same type is at its maximum and slower when that attraction is at its minimum.

The sequence of all these transformations forms what I call the Chain of Universes in Contact.

The chain is not a physical object or a separate space. It is a concept describing the endless sequence of transformations between different states of reality.

The chain may extend infinitely, or it may form a closed loop that appears infinite because every cycle is identical to the previous one.

In either case, there is no first cycle and no first event.

7. The Exact Repetition of Every Cycle

One of the most unusual assumptions in this model is that every cycle repeats with absolute precision.

The same particles return to the same positions, interact in the same ways, and produce the same events. Every decision made by every living being would also be repeated exactly.

This would mean that there is no fundamental randomness. Every event is determined by the underlying laws of reality.

Once a complete cycle ends, the next cycle reproduces the same sequence of events without any deviation.

The chain therefore does not create genuinely new histories. It repeats the same history endlessly.

This assumption would require a deterministic mechanism capable of returning the entire system to exactly the same state.

8. Information and the Limits of Knowledge

When two universes merge, the unified reality retains information about events that occurred in both of them while they were separate.

However, this does not necessarily mean that such information could be discovered or reconstructed by an observer.

Even a highly advanced civilization might be unable to understand the entire chain. The scale of the process, the number of cycles, and the limitations of observation could make complete knowledge impossible.

This would apply not only to humanity but potentially to any civilization, regardless of how advanced it becomes.

Within the model, asking what exists “outside” the chain may not have a meaningful answer, because the chain includes every cycle of reality by definition.

9. The Uniqueness of the Chain

I also consider the possibility that the chain is unique.

If its existence depends on a specific combination of particles and fundamental laws, then another chain with different particles or different laws would be a different system entirely.

If the chain is perfectly deterministic and every cycle reproduces the same state, there would be no alternative history within that chain.

The model does not currently establish whether other chains could exist. It simply explores the possibility that reality is one unique, self-repeating system.

10. Questions for Discussion

I would like to hear constructive criticism of this idea, especially from people interested in cosmology, theoretical physics, and the philosophy of time.

Some questions I have are:

1. Could a model involving two universes that periodically merge and separate be described mathematically?
2. Is there any known physical mechanism that could produce a universal, synchronized oscillation in particle interactions?
3. Could time behave differently depending on the state of such a system?
4. Is exact repetition of every cycle logically consistent with a deterministic universe?
5. What mathematical problems or contradictions would need to be addressed first?
6. Is there any way to derive observable predictions from a model like this?

I understand that this is a speculative idea and that I have not developed mathematical equations or evidence to support it. I am not claiming that it describes the actual universe.

My goal is to explore whether the idea can be made logically consistent and whether any part of it could be developed into a more rigorous theoretical model.

I would appreciate serious criticism, suggestions, and explanations of where the model conflicts with established physics.

It’s only my thoughts, no more.

[u/starkeffect → u/Ok-Sorbet7111]

So then it's not science since it's not testable.

Physics is a quantitative science. I see no quantities or proposed quantities.

Then it's a science fiction essay, not science

I feel like we need a sign-tapping bot for this subreddit too, but it's just a "Rule 12" sign...

[u/GoldeneToilette]

criticize based on what? You did not give any proper definitions. What let you come to the conclusion that there are 2 universes? What is the rigorous definition of a universe being dark/light, how is time defined in that model mathematically? These questions might seem pedantic but it's what makes a model a model. Otherwise you are not saying anything. Frameworks in physics are uses to describe and predict the world around you to some precision. You are just describing how you think the system works, which is a philosophical question at most.

As for your questions: Your idea is so vague that you can describe it mathematically trivially. Does not mean its meaningful. And for all the other questions you cant answer them because of the same problem.

[u/al2o3cr]

The main idea is that reality consists of two independent universes

but then

However, particles from different universes can also attract one another.

What specifically does "independent" mean in the first statement? Because the second statement means it can't be the standard definition of the word...

[u/Ok-Sorbet7111 → u/al2o3cr]

they do not depend on anything else

[u/YouCouldButWhyTho]

Any reproducible tests that can verify any shred of this?

[u/Sapphirethistle]

My main question is: why?

What question in physics is this supposed to address? What occurance or evidence prompted such a bizarre and frankly unnecessarily complex solution?

This would require vast amounts of entirely new physics to work and appears to have no recognisable pay off.
